Give Me That Filet-O-Fish, GIMME THAT FISH!

This commercial is constantly playing in my head. . . I don't know why I think it's so funny, but I do. :)

Anywho, after many a bad interaction with inconsiderate customers at the Chick-fil-A, I believe it is high time that I write a blog about drive-thru and fast food etiquette. It's well over-due. I sometimes think that people just don't know that its rude. Let me enlighten you.

Drive-Thru: Placing Your Order at the Speaker
1. When approaching the speaker box, please refrain from listening to your ghetto blasting music. We cannot hear you placing your order.
2. If you drive and obnoxiously large truck with an obnoxiously loud engine, please cut your vehicle off while placing your order.
3. It is not necessary to shout into the box. We can hear you surprisingly well.
4. But please do not whisper into the box, or park your car several feet away from it. We can't hear you and it's annoying to have to ask you to speak up.
5. If for some reason your windows do not roll down, do us a favor and don't come through the drive-thru. We are judging you.
6. DO NOT TALK ON YOUR CELLPHONE WHILE PLACING YOUR ORDER. IT IS RUDE. Most establishments have signs saying to stay off the phone. Do it.
7. If you need a minute to look over the menu, just say so. We typically don't mind. The drive-thru menus are designed in such a way that you should be able to figure out what you want in less than 30 seconds. Should you be an indecisive person in nature, go inside. You're backing up the line.
8. Please place your order in a dialect that is understandable. No, we do not know what "Splender" or "Mayernaz" is. It is pronounced SPLIN-DA and MAYO-NAYZ. Please pronounce them correctly.
9. If you would like something special done to your order, perhaps having things bagged seperatly, well done, or with a certain garden item, please let us know at the box. We will be happy to take care of it when you place your order. It is annoying when we have already prepared your order for you and are handing it to you, but you have waited until the very last minute that you wanted something different.
10. For ridiculously large orders, or a lot of special things that need to be taken care of to your food, go inside. It will be quicker than if you go through the drive-thru, I promise.

More to come later. :)
